Mr. Speaker, I am very happy that the parliamentary secretary can sit there and read a speech that was written for her by someone behind the curtain, but I did not say any of that stuff. Actually, my speech did not even mention the carbon tax. The unhealthy obsession over the carbon tax coming from that side is a bit weird.
I talked about out-of-control spending, food inflation and families finding it harder each and every year to make ends meet because there is much more month at the end of their paycheque, and it just does not go far enough, and how the Liberals could actually help families.
With respect to the Liberals' continued obsession over slogans and the carbon tax, we know that they were wrong, because they repealed the consumer carbon tax after they fought tooth and nail for eight years, saying that it was the best thing for the environment. They then flip-flopped just to get re-elected, because they realized how unpopular it was.
Now I know how regular Canadians feel. I sat here and talked about real problems, and the parliamentary secretary just read a speech and did not listen to a single word I said. It makes these adjournment debates almost as disappointing as question period.
